Venusaur after this Event

Hi all,
Been playing since day 1 and gotta say I was thrilled with this past starter/holiday event. Evolved a 91 iv Charizard with WA/FB and a 96 iv Blastoise with WG/HP. I also evolved the following Venusaurs: 96 iv (RL/PB), 91 iv (RL/PB), 91 (RL/Solar Beam), 91 (VW/Sludge Bomb). My goal was a (VW/Solar Beam) to take down all these damn Vapes. My question is: are any of these worth powering up? I have a 91 iv (C/SB) Egg man and I can easily access an egg nest. Have an 89 iv egg waiting to be evolved too. So do I waste my time powering any of these up, or just face the fact that while Venusaur is cool, Egg man is just better overall as attacker and defender?

That 91 IV (VW/SB) is the tank to power up in my opinion. I have a 100% (VW/PB) and he mows through Vapes but I've heard that the solar beam is devastating.

In truth, the Exeggutor with (ZH/SB) is a beast against the Vapes too but two STAB grass attacks from a Veno is hard to beat.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the mix-up SB was for Sludge Bomb, I wish I did get VW/Solar Beam! So the one I actually got was VW/Sludge Bomb

Im starting to get really tired of ya being lucky with these pokemon while im getting 50% and below iv starters ?. My vw/sb Venusaur is like 60% 8/7/9 something like that. Ya are so dam lucky i swear. Im sitting on nearly 200 candies of each waiting for a good iv starter to evolve.

I evolved 11 venusaur and got 0 vw/sb. I got a good 98% 1800cp one with VW/PB though.
Those are the only two movesets worth powering.

Id say worry less about IV and more with starting CP and moveset. The ideal bulbasaur/eggy is gonna be level 30 with and atk IV over 12. If you were to compare a 3 Venusaur with the same moveset but one is 100% iv level 30, 100% iv level 35 and a 60%iv level 30 you would find that the primary difference is the #candies and stardust invested. The amount of time that each of these takes down a Vape will be negligible. You might spend an extra 2 seconds for each minute you battle. In the end Dragonite with DB is a much better vape counter and once you have one these your eggy and venus will gather dust in your inventory. I wouldn't put much stardust in these.

I'd power up the Razor Leaf + Solar Beam one, as I have one myself and it's a fucking beast against Vapes. I'd suggest to try it first though, to see if the slower quick move suits your style well enough.

I was also quite lucky. I just caught a Charizard with WA/FB (2000CP) and two days ago a Vensaur VW/SB (1500CP). Furthermore I caught a Bulbasaur which envolved into a Vensaur with RL/PB with lvl 98% (1460CP).

In exchange all my five 10km eggs turned out badly. :-(

Don't talk to me about Charizards. I just evolved my fourth, all with terrible move sets. I have a VW/PB venusaur, and it is quite useful against vapereons, but I was hoping for a VW/SB and got another of the same. So far, the special event has given me more chances, but no success.
